MICROCREDIT

MICROCREDIT (...let's give them credit)

Microcredit is an economical development tool which allows people with conditions of extreme poverty to have access to the financial services. It can be compared to a loan of honor. This innovative method had proven to be efficient and its rate of return is more than 95%.

Our initiative foresees to give a little financing which can help 10 widows of the "Amies de Chiara" Cooperative who live in Bukavu and who want to carry out some kind of autonomous activities in order to sustain their families' needs.
